Miriam Larson’s Reviews > How We Got to Now: Six Innovations That Made the Modern World > Status Update

The Young Readers version was an excellent journey through history. Although the title might make you think the author will describe 6 invented contraptions, the book describes 6 areas of invention: light, sound, glass, cold, clean and time. I came away with a renewed gratitude for so many tools we take for granted. And I had quite a few WOW moments at the audacity and genius behind invention.
